  3. took me some time to stuff away my handles and loosen my legwing. At the time it seemed not to take that much time, afterwards when reviewing the tape it surely did. Should have unstowed them first to get full flight of the reserve with extratime to evaluate possible hang ups of toggles ! good point you make there ! oxygen wingsuitteam check out our newest movie Trainingweek Seville Spain 2010 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwtzc1RDzDQ
  4. I never roll the nose in any way, just loose trash packing. Fine deployments rest of the week. fine canopy for WS purposes I think it was due to a lazybag hesitation (blocked flap) wich caused the lines to twist up fast. when leaving the bag it just kept spinning. Never had any problems with the lazybag before. what do you mean by comparable ? like in, yeah I have been twisting like that all week, 10 chops a little fuzzy but i'll live ?? oxygen wingsuitteam check out our newest movie Trainingweek Seville Spain 2010 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwtzc1RDzDQ
  5. Of course it's difficult and speculative to talk about what could have happened if. From my point of view, and from what I recall, the spin was far more intense than extended spiralling down on an open canopy. It was hard to reach and get hold of the reservehandles (needed concentration and force), there was a sort of "decrease" of awareness during the EP. I was fully aware at the cutaway, the reservepull instead is a bit more blurry. I think it might be possible to loose awareness in this kind of malfunction, when it continues to long. oxygen wingsuitteam check out our newest movie Trainingweek Seville Spain 2010 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwtzc1RDzDQ
  6. I was under main at 3000 Ft. (first dytter signal you hear under canopy) reserve pull was intentional (no rsl or skyhook) Under reserve at approx. 1800 Ft (first swoop beep of my optima is set at 1200 ft, second signal on the vid.) No intention of me to kick out of it. before I knew i was spinning around. There was wingmaterial stuck between my hand and cutaway handle, had to grab with left hand, followed my arm with my right hand to locate cutaway, immediatly after cutaway, pulled reservehandle, which I found quite fast ... It never came across my mind to flip over before reservepull, twisted my back a bit to the side (at least my brain gave that command to my muscles (don't know if they responded though ;). Pop top ejected nice aside my body. surprised me that a avaredge loaded STORM 1.5 was able to do such things ... (especially when you see the lines weren't that assymetric spun up ... quite some g forces to... oxygen wingsuitteam check out our newest movie Trainingweek Seville Spain 2010 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwtzc1RDzDQ
  7. 150 WS jumps on a stiletto 150, wl 1.5... never faced a spin that came close to this pull... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNntKwRRrUs&feature=email It was a pull in full flight, max speed. Something I never dared to do with the stiletto, that's why I bought the Storm. Nice pulls in full flight. . (It was probably a hesitation of the bag causing it to spin up, dumping the lines (lazy bag) with this result ... oxygen wingsuitteam check out our newest movie Trainingweek Seville Spain 2010 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwtzc1RDzDQ

  9. i'm no expert either, but experimented 200 jumps with a stiletto 150 (1.6 WL) whilst wingsuiting. A few things I came across, - way of packing influences the opening sequence a lot - tucking in the tail deep into the packjob can kick you right unconscience, full flight or not. What helped for FF scared the hell out of me when opening speeds were reduced. - loose packjobs kept me fine, no rolling up, tucking in, etc... - WS and moderate - high loadad elliptical rags is fun, lot of twisting, kicking out, banging openings, I've seen them all... ask my surgean. ;) - jumping a storm 150 now same WL, loose packing, full flight, sinking in to terminal speed, all works fine ! - most canopies are designed to open in terminal velocity, opening them below is ... like a box of chocolats, you'll never know what you'll get. (and with 10 kg of gear on top, it hurts ... but then again this is my humble experience. grtz to you all

  11. ....4.If you can jump off something under 1,000 ft and get flying at a pace not too slow without too much freefall is it possible to jump off something 600 ft, 500 ft, or even 400 ft and if so how long could you travel flying a wing suit for before you have to make a low pull? .... is survival of the essence ? You could add a few secs if that isn't of any importance ... you're not planning any greenpeace or other stuff invasion anywhere ???? oxygen wingsuitteam check out our newest movie Trainingweek Seville Spain 2010 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwtzc1RDzDQ
  12. this info might be usefull for people jumping out of smaller crafts like the 182 or 206 cessna. Whilst jumping out, from the inside, I try to create space between me and the aircraft, staying flat (to maintain forward speed) hands and wings in front of me (when I put them behind me, I can't push off with my hands), After 2 secs I open my wings and float up immediatly to gain alti again. It works for me, and keeps me way out of reach of the stabilazor. the pics show this "safe" setup I know Jarno, not as you taught me, but it works... oxygen wingsuitteam check out our newest movie Trainingweek Seville Spain 2010 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwtzc1RDzDQ
